The Seahawks' first-year offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer has worked with a lot of great quarterbacks in his NFL coaching year.

As the quarterbacks coach for the Indianapolis Colts for two seasons prior to joining the Seahawks, he had Andrew Luck. Before that, Hall-of-Fame-caliber quarterbacks: Drew Brees, Phillip Rivers and Brett Favre (who's already in the HOF).

But Schottenheimer indicated Thursday that his latest QB, Russell Wilson, may have the best work ethic of them all. He wouldn't elaborate, but apparently Wilson gives the coaching staff written reports, presumably breakdowns of the offense.

"I've been around some pretty good quarterbacks," Schottenheimer told reporters. "I've never been around a guy that put that's put that much work and preparation into it."
